Opus bt c3100 question

Do you know if the lesser versions of the 3100, like the bt c2400 do the different modes?

Thats what I am really looking for, any charger that will allow different modes, refresh/discharge on different slots while others are charging. Anything like the 3100 that will do what is does with the ability to use different modes. I am guessing the IQ328 does not and is not a good charger, tho I read Opus made it at one time…

Good Day Dave,

The Opus BT-C3400 is just a relabeled BT-C3100 V2.1 (NOT the latest version).

The newest version (released about 1 month ago) is the Opus BT-C3100 V2.2, which GearBest has for sale.

Best Regards,

George

Get the Opus 2.2 and be happy! :wink:

Is that the cheapest price around? I am looking to buy 2 chargers and we are on a budget. Thats about 20.00 higher :frowning: Thats why I was asking if the 2400 did multi mode on different slots. Wife gonna give me some flack .

Hi Dave,

The price IS GOOD, and GearBest are mostly reliable.

If you want to save money, then get 1 of Opus BT-C3100 V2.2, and 1 of Nitecore D4.

Both are Very Good (I have & use both).


Best Regards,

George

Not sure if at makes a difference or not, but I do not have any Li-Ion batts , just Ni-MH Ni-Cd.

If you have no Li-ion batteries, & you will not be getting any Li-ion battereies, then you are probably looking at the wrong chargers IMHO.

Then get the LaCrosse BC-700 from Amazon if in the US.

Btw, which country do you live in?

Best Regards,

George

I am in the US. The BC-700 are about $10.00 higher than the opus.(times 2) I liked the ability of separate modes . Do the BC-700 let you charge one and discharge another at the same time? Does it have all the safety features as the opus?

Hi Dave,

The BC-700 lets you charge one battery while discharging another, and it is a Very Good Ni-MH battery charger/analyser/conditioner.

It is my favourite Ni-MH battery charger/analyser/conditioner.

Best Regards,

George

You can set individual modes for each bay in the Opus BT-C3100. There is a button to press that rotate the selection to each bay in turn. You simply select the bay and set it. The selection will be set automatically if you insert a battery. And using the button, after each bay has been selected in turn, all bays can be selected and you can set all bays to the same mode as well. If the power is reset then all bays will be selected when the power comes back.

The two biggest differences between the Opus BT-C3100 v2.1 or v2.2 and the Opus BT-C3400 is the name and the price.

So i ordered the 3100 from gearbest and it seems the free ship method will take like 20 days to get to New York.

That really sucks.

And the tracking number still says can not be found. I emailed them 2 days ago about the tracking number and they have yet to respond.

That's typical for China sellers. It will usually take 2-3 days (in some cases longer) before a tracking number will actually show up in the system and start showing progress. I usually count on about a 3-week wait for overseas purchases.

Sometimes tracking starts after you already have it in your hands.

Herein lies the Answer!

First some background:

I ordered a Nitecore EC21 from the Group-Buy from Gearbest back in January 2015. - Tracking from the GB site NEVER found it.

So… Go Here:

Put in your tracking number and Your country, and it should do the rest. - It make take a few seconds.

Another order was shipped to me from Gearbest just yesterday - Of course Gearbest tracking says “Not Found”.

The site above reports: - Only it is correctly formatted (unlike below) so that you can read it:-)

Please get back to us and let us know if it worked for you.

Thanks,

I guess they are having issues today. I keep getting gateway timed out

It took a while for me too - sometimes up to around a minute, but I got through every time I ‘tested’ it. (only one order coming:-)

Keep at it!

-Chuck

That’s the one not locating it.

Yep - That one found my Red Convoy s2+ too! - Was freaking out waiting for the Group Buy of the Eagle Eyes A-6, so decided to get me something similar to tide me over:-)

Thanks!
